Rocktopus at The Fox in Palmers Green. Although I’d seen this excellent band a couple of times previously, this is the first time I managed to get any pictures. I first met guitarrist Mark Gustavina and drummer Dom Chandler as members of Tracie Hunter’s band. Mark also teams up with vocalist Tamás Csemez as members of Prezence, and, more recently, as members of Stargazer and Memento. (12/006: 14/1/2012)

The highly talented Mark Gustavina appears in yet another new guise, The Gus Trick Band. Here they are in The Old Bell, Enfield - just a couple of hundred yards (or metres, if you must) from The Hop Poles. (15/045, Friday 24th April 2015)
